[RDB] Added an option to export selected (checked) results in the Results Database Sample Results Summary table to a results database file. This option is available by right-clicking the Sample Results Summary table and selecting “Export Selected Results to DB” option. You will be prompted for a database file name.

[RDB] Added an option to the Results Database Import functionality to import all results from another database file (see the export option above). To import from a database file, you must click the file type list box at the lower right of the select import file window and choose the “Database Files (*.db)”. The database to be imported must be the same version as the current database. If it is an older version, an upgrade will be attempted before importing.

A complete list of fixes and enhancements is provided in the release notes.

About Diablo EZReporter Software

The Diablo EZReporter software is a flexible, advanced, post-run data analysis and reporting solution for any instrument that can be controlled by a supported chromatography data system. The EZReporter Natural Gas Analysis and Natural Gas Liquids Editions are state-of-art solutions for natural gas analysis and natural gas liquids/extended reporting.

Upgrading

The price to upgrade to EZReporter 4.0 from earlier versions of EZReporter and BTU Calculator will depend on 1) the number of licenses, 2) the edition you are upgrading from and upgrading to, and 3) the number of instruments you want to license.

[NGA] Added GPA 2198 Fidelity Plots to NGA/NGL Editions. The configuration editor has a new “Fidelity Report” option under “Natural Gas Analysis” to allow you to create or customize the report. In addition a new tab has been added to the left side of the “Sample Results” tab on the main window that displays the Fidelity Plot, Fidelity results, and Fidelity data.

More Information: EZReporter can produce fidelity plots as described in the GPA 2198-16 standard. A Fidelity Plot is a plot of the Log10 of the Molecular Weight vs the Log10 of the Response Factor for a series of components. Typically plots are made of C1-nC5, N2-C1-CO2, and iC4-iC5-C6+, although there can be other valid series. The plots of these series should be linear. Significant non-linearity, outliers, or changes in slope for a particular series may indicate a problem with the calibration/reference standard or the GC method or calibration.

[MOD] Enabled installation of the Modbus module. You must select “Customized Setup” during installation, and then check the “Modbus Slave Server” option.

More Information: The EZReporter 4.0 Modbus Module is an optional module that adds Modbus TCP Slave functionality to any of the EZReporter 4.0 editions. Most numeric results that are calculated and reported in the edition of EZReporter you are running can be assigned to a Modbus register for a Modbus Master to read.

[ALL] Components, Custom Sample Information Fields, and Calculated Results are now all referenced internally and in export template variables and formulas using a unique 4-digit ID number that is assigned when the item is first created and added to a particular configuration file. This allows you to rearrange the order of the components, sample information fields, and calculated results in the configuration editor and rename components without impacting variables in export templates, formulas, internal calculations, etc. In order to accomplish this, the format of the configuration file had to be updated. Configuration files will be updated automatically the first time you load them (a backup of the old file is saved in the backup folder).

[ALL] A new “Complete” installer is available that includes connectors for all supported chromatography data systems and associated help and reference manuals.

A complete list of fixes and enhancements is provided in the release notes.
